The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
The wines of The Fishwives Club have now achieved something of a cult status. They represent the fight against the patrician class. The fight against commercialism. The fact that memories are much better than money. Everything at The Fishwives Club should be taken with a grain of salt. You just have to enjoy yourself and not take everything so seriously; above all, have fun. Something the founder of The Fishwives Club wines experienced firsthand.
The architect of these South African wines had a flourishing life. A prosperous career, a beautiful house in one of Johannesburg's finest neighborhoods, and a stunning wife. The perfect picture was brilliant and polished. However, no matter how well you arrange everything, some things are simply unforeseeable. He lost everything and decided to return to his birthplace near Cape Town. He became a lonely recluse. Until he met two women in a local café who sparked something in him. He became enthusiastic and creative again. He named the winery—affectionately—after these two women: The Fishwives.
Thanks to the founder's tireless dedication, The Fishwives Club wines are immensely popular. A few years ago, a new vineyard was purchased near Stellenbosch, planted with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The vineyard is small, so the production of The Fishwives Club Cabernet Sauvignon is limited. The grapes are harvested and aged in small oak barrels, both American and French, for nine months. The result is incomparable depth and complexity. A top-notch Cabernet Sauvignon wine that many other wineries envy. It offers a distinct cherry aroma, enveloped in cassis fruit. The fragrant vanilla, combined with toasted oak, immediately reveals the towering quality of The Fishwives Club Cabernet Sauvignon.
